[sgi-tomyfriends-wagatomo] 20th-26th June 2022 Words of the Week, 20th June Daily Gosho + 21st June Daily Encouragement

A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Newspaper based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

June 20th-26th, 2022
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
The Daishonin teaches,
"All your virtuous acts 
  will implant benefits 
    and roots of goodness 
      in your life."*
When we put our faith into action, 
we are, at the same time,  
making a revolutionary 
transformation of our life state. 
Let's strive to build a peaceful, 
hope-filled society
and together accumulate 
great good fortune and benefit.

*"On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime" 
(WND, Vol.1, page 4)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Describing the Latter Day of the Law and a time when natural disasters strike in succession, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Even the large-hearted become narrow, and even those who seek the way adopt erroneous views' (WND–1, 845). This, he lamented, leads to endless conflict.

"Our movement for kosen-rufu and establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land entails opening the hearts of people in the Latter Day of the Law through the power of the Mystic Law and uniting them based on the Buddhist principle of respect for the dignity of life."
